Oh, to be out west, somewhere far from light pollution at 4:51 AM PST. And no clouds, no fog, please!
Not only will the moon turn copper-colored in the shadow of the earth, it will be at the perigee of its orbit, and thus 14% bigger and 30% brighter than it is at the apogee.
Fortunately NASA will be video-recording the event, so I will bet dollars-to-donuts the lunar event can be watched streaming on the internet, and canned on YouTube.
Last time I watched a lunar eclipse, it was a night with no breeze. And just as the eclipse became total, a great horned owl gave a territorial hoot.
This is what they sound like, if they give a hoot!
